Overview
Explore the gorgeous scenery and wildlife of the Bayou Segnette on this exhilarating tour. You'll hop aboard a boat and set out into the thick of Louisiana’s wetlands on an intrepid adventure.
Navigate through the waters and pass cypress trees, moss, and a myriad of swamp animals. Keep your eyes peeled and you'll see American alligators, alligator snapping turtles, egrets, and wild hogs along the way. Your guide will take you to the best wildlife-spotting zones while giving you all the history and little-known facts about the marsh-dwelling creatures.
Facts
The term ‘bayou’ is native to Louisiana and stems from the Native American word 'bayuk' meaning 'small stream'.
The Cajuns of Louisiana were originally French-speaking settlers relocated from Nova Scotia.
Since the 1930s, the coast of Louisiana has lost over 1,900 square miles of marshes and coastal wetlands.
Just outside New Orleans is the historic fishing village of Westwego, home to this natural swamp, which winds all the way down into the Gulf of Mexico.
What's included
Take a relaxing pontoon boat ride through the Louisiana wetlands.
See American alligators, turtles, egrets, and more.

Traysee Rylance ·Great time and so much was learned. The tour giude was amazing. He had so much knowledge about the alligators that he shared with us.
Putting the ALL in alligator
Aaron H ·Probably saw 20+ gators but still felt so safe. And you can tell the guides cared about the creatures from the way they talked to them, cared about the surrounding animals, etc. Nick was funny, professional, and WELL informed.
Ultimate swamp tour
Mary ·Awesome adventure with captain Nick. Highly recommend to everyone who wants to see and learn about alligators.
Fun afternoon in the swamp
helenhiwater ·Our guide was full of information about all the alligators, which he called by name. This was fun, but I would have liked to know a little more about birds and plants.

Best Tour Ever
Jogs ·This is the best tour ever! Very informative guide. Tons of opportunities to see gators and take pictures. Had plenty of food on the boat to attract the animals to the boat. I have never seen such interaction. Lots of blue herons and plants to see. What a great way to spend the afternoon.
